An Uphill Battle | Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts

Message: "An Uphill Battle"
Scriptures: 1 Samuel 14:6-12 (NKJV)
Speaker: Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts
Date: July 14, 2024

Concerned with insufficient government, the tribes of Israel felt they needed an earthly king to unify and lead them. After being anointed by the prophet Samuel, Saul reluctantly but obediently emerged as their chosen one. Later, his son Jonathan also demonstrated faith when he confronted and defeated a Philistine garrison.

These examples show that when you partner with God and embrace His view of you, you can accomplish anything! Don’t succumb to doubt and the opinions of others. Your beliefs drive your behavior, so trusting, protecting, and acting on His plan is crucial.

This song is SO TIMELY for my family and I! My 13 year old sister has cancer, and Sunday I had gotten a call from my parents asking to gather all of my siblings to come and say our goodbyes… We prayed, we asked for a miracle, and here we are 5 days later and my sister has made a MIRACULOUS recovery and doctors are in AWE!

I was there from Louisiana yesterday! IT WAS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥. When we got back home my 6 year old grandson Tyson went in the bedroom and turned this service back on by himself and was watching it. He said, "SHE HAS JESUS IN HER"! GOD HAS DEFINITELY CHOSEN THIS WOMAN OF GOD. I so needed this sermon. RIGHT ON TIME.

Pastor Sarah is sold out to Jesus! What a blessing to the body of Christ. What a blessing to the body of Christ! This Lady always speaks from a place of personal encounter with the Lord. Please let us all continue to lift her up before the Lord, always mentioning her in our prayers that God will continue to empower her.

I'm John Roberts, and my Wife was called Home on June 29th, after enjoying the last eight months without health battles.... Married for over 34 years...Good and Godly years, enduring hardness as Good soldiers, we weathered the storms of Life... But the Last eight months were of complete peace and surrender to whatever time we were gonna enjoy them, whether 10-more years or 5, we were free from every trial that we had endured for the 34 Beautiful years beautiful like Roses, thorns and all, and after Battling Congestive Heart issues for 6-years, these last eight months were glorious. O how we laughed and enjoyed Friday, June 28th, a day equal to the previous 8 months of days. But on Saturday approximately 7 am within 4 minutes after rushing to the Hospital she was gone, and I felt her spirit leave as she threw her head upon my shoulder while I was driving, and I screamed Lord you just took her. (Sarah thank you so much for being an obedient servant and Believing what God Believes about You... Thank you for this awesome revelation on how to scale my Hill. Because of this message I will Finish) ❣

Lord Jesus please give me strength. I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers and please continue to give me strength.💕
